ComradeZalutsky and Comrade Solts

Ihave learned about the expulsion from the Party of
Nadezhda Sergeyevna Alliluyeva. I have personally seenher work as a secretary of the C.P.C. Managing
Department, i.e., at very close range. However, I consider it
necessary to point out that I have known the whole
Alliluyev  family, i.e., the father, the mother and the two
daughters, since before the October Revolution. In
particular, during the July days, when Zinoviev and I had to
hide out and the danger was very great, it is this family
that hid me, and the four of them, with the complete
confidence of the Party Bolsheviks at the time, not only gave
us both asylum, but also rendered a number of other secret
services without which we would not have been able to escape
Kerensky’s bloodhounds. It could very well be that in view
of Nadezhda Sergeyevna Alliluyeva’s youth, this
circumstance has not been made known to the commission. Nor
am I aware whether the commission was able, in examining
the case of Nadezhda Sergeyevna Alliluyeva, to make a
comparison of the facts about her father, who had worked
in various capacities in assisting the Party long before the
revolution, and had, I have heard, rendered important
services to the illegal Bolsheviks under tsarism.

Iconsider it my duty to inform the Central Commission
for Purging the Party of these
circumstances.[1]

20.00 hours, December 20, 1921.

[1]NadezhdaAlliluyeva was reinstated in the Party.
